an expression of opinion as to the identity of the por¬ 
traits, the proper authority at the British Museum pro¬ 
nounced it to be undoubtedly the Merrys. The 
miniature was until recently in the possession of the 
family of the late William B. Wood of Philadelphia,

* Of extreme rarity, being the first Thackeray book. The articles 
were collected by the American publishers from Fraser's Magazine,. 
where they originally appeared, and issued in book form three years 
in advance of their publication as a part of “Comic Tales and 
Sketches,” in London, 1841. It is supposed that the hiatus in the 
pagination (the text beginning with page 13) represents space left for 
an intended preface or introduction, which never appeared, as none 
of the feyr known copies differ from this as to their contents.
